With the consistent upgrades and introduction to new technologies, Razer has introduced some pretty amazing changes to the Blade 15 workhouse, offering some of the biggest changes to the lineup. Not just that, Razer also claims that the upgraded Blade 15 is the thinnest 15-inch RTX gaming laptop in the world at the moment.
Following the range of updates that Razer has introduced to their Blade 15 device, it isn’t surprising that the new version is powered by the latest 11th Gen. Intel H-series processors with NVIDIA’s RTX 30-series graphics chips. The combination of Intel Core i9 processor with RTX 3080 GPU ensure premium quality performance like no other.
Aside from the basic performance, the new Blade 15 is also equipped with a 4K touchscreen for superior display and visuals. Amidst all the upgrades that have been introduced to the Blade 15, the addition of the fingerprint-resistant screen is a winning streak. Not only does it shield the display from scratches, it keeps the device look sleek and shiny all throughout.

Even the integrated Windows webcam has been upgraded from the 720p resolution to 1080p resolution for crisp and clear visuals when you are attending video meetings. Also, the trackpad comes with improved palm rejection feature, which is a benefit.
However, amidst all the upgrades, the one that predominantly stands out is the compact design. in the upgraded version, Razer has managed to shave off a few more of the thickness from the sides, leaving the device 15.8 mm in thickness, making it one of the thinnest RTX gaming laptops in the market.
Compared to MSI GS66 Stealth, the upgraded Razer Blade 15 is 17% smaller in size and a lot more compact as well. Although the device lives up to the needs of portability, extremely thin gaming laptops don’t fare well all the time. This is one of the factors users are a little skeptical about.
NVIDIA has also given brands like Razer complete free reign to choose the wattage along with the clock speed based on the integrated GPU in the device. The thinner laptops also have a problem with integrating the needling thermal management system, something that several gamers have now been questioning.
The latest Razer Blade 15 model now features a 240Hz QHD IPS panel with 2.5 ms overdrive response and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage. Also, as mentioned in the beginning, the device is powered by the latest Intel Core i7-11800H processor with RTX 3060 GPU.
Also, the integration of 16GB RAM with SSD storage offers superior user experience and improved performance like no other. Pair that with 80Wh battery and you will never have to complain about lagging performance anymore.
The selection of I/O ports in the Advanced Blade 15 device includes a few primitive and newer options, including Thunderbolt 4, UHS-III SD card reader with USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports to name a few of the most important ones. As for wireless connectivity, the device supports Wi-Fi 6E along with Bluetooth 5.2 for seamless connection and communication.
The new Blade 15 feature upgradeable RAM and storage, depending on the needs of the user, which is quite impressive too. While the starting model features just one M.2 slot, the other ones come with a few additional M.2 slots that can accommodate up to 4TB storage.
The thinnest Razer Blade 15 Advanced Edition available for Pre-order at a starting price of $2,299.99.
